Episode 148: Almost Cornhole champion and being really bad at volleyball

almost cornhole champion and being really bad at volleyball - Episode 148

  “Can you enjoy a sport and be bad at it?” For this episode I share two experiences from my family gathering while participating in some sports, volleyball and cornhole.  I share how incredibly bad I performed during our family volleyball game and then share my great triumph of almost becoming the cornhole champion.  And within those two stories exploring the thought of can you enjoy a sport if you are bad at it?  It is a wonder.  But it sure was fun to win!  

Show Notes:  Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode.  Below are all the references. 

What I learned:  I learned from my experience that when you don't play volleyball for a long time you get pretty rusty and in fact I was just really bad.  Luckily I could still serve but as I share the story of playing volleyball with my family there was the question of can I have fun and still be bad at something?  I think that there is a limit - because it can get really embarassing especially if you are constantly letting you team down when you can't make a shot when it come to you.  I also think you can have fun playing but to be honest it is probably a little more fun when you are better at the sport.  Maybe I just need to practice a little more. 

Then I also learned how fun it is to make it to the final round of a tournament.  Who knew that I could be so good at cornhole?!  It honestly was so fun to keep winning.  I learned to be grateful for the perfect tip from my brother that helped me get my bean bags on the board constistently.  

So can you have fun and not be good at a sport?  I think it really is all up to you.  But don't stop trying new things.
